Upstate NY Babies

What did Santa bring you this year?

What did you all get for gifts-from DH and others?

 DH got me an Xbox Kinect workout game and a flat iron I wanted.  My Mom got us a lot of things for the new house-a new set of bath towels, a photo for our bedroom, lots of Xmas decor and some clothes. My ILs got me a Wilton cake pan set, some flameless candles, a huge box of scented soaps and a GC to the salon I go to. My Dad will do gifts with us tomorrow but I'm 99% sure we're getting a new infant seat for the baby from him.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!

    my brother got me my macro lens for my camera, and a yankees waffle/sandwich makers - the gift that keeps on giving all year round!

    i also have a huge pile of (probably losing) scratch offs from everyone

     

    i gave DH two bottles of body wash and as he opened them he asked me 'are you trying to tell me something?" i looked at the large pile of small kitchen appliances he gave me and asked him the same thing- lol!

     

    hope  everyone had a wonderful x-mas... i'm off to load my nerf gun to shoot my 'starving' cats during the night!

  • DH gave me 2 awesome sets of pajamagram jammies (so, so comfy), slippers, massage GC, GC to VS, 3 sets of Craftsman allen wrenches (I have been wanted these as I use them daily at work to fix/adjust people's wheelchairs), I think that I am forgetting something..

    Date night from my sister (dinner, movie and babysitting :), giftcards, awesome blanket, necklace with the boys' birthstones, Turkey joints (local candy), GC to Kohls for some new clothes (yeah!)

  • DH got me a watch. It's a Fossil mens style, and I love it! He also got me some pj's, yoga pants, a Sephora gift card and a spa gift certificate. Evan got me a new lunch bag, which I love... I always bring my lunch in a grocery bag or something, so I'm excited to have a nice bag. DH said Evan picked it out too ;)

    My parents and gram gave us money. 

    My brother and SIL gave us tickets to a Sabres game in February... along w/ a night of babysitting!

  • It was definitely a year to replace our wedding gifts from 5 years ago!  We got a new coffee pot, toaster oven, new knives, a wooden cutting board.  I got a steam mop, an ice cream maker, gift cards to Bath & Body Works, the mall and $50 to anywhere I want.  Some PJ pants and fuzzy socks, king size pillows.  It was another great  year, we are very lucky.

  • A dishwasher, yahoo! :)  We actually got that last weekend and I can't wait to get it hooked up.  Also gift cards to Lowes, Target and Kohls, and cash too.  DH bought me a pasta roller, and ravioli molds (darn Drive Ins, Diners, and Dives for making us want to make them) and I got a bunch on kitchen stuff too, a dough cutter, new cookie sheet, new spatula and turner, magnetic spice jars, water bottles, leftover containers and a necklace with Juliana's name from thevvintagepearl. I definitely didn't expect all that!

  • Keurig!  Need I say more?  I'm so happy...
  • We got new carpet installed in the family room.  Not very exciting but much needed, and it cost waaaaay more than we would have spent on actual gifts for each other. Plus we got tickets for my mom and I to see Les Mis, so that was partly my gift too. I'm happy! :-)
  • Dh bought us a family membership to the YMCA.  I am SO excited! 

    My parents surprised us with one of those electric fireplaces that doubles as an entertainment center.  We can't wait to set that up.

  • I got a bunch of clothes that I can't fit into due to the large belly. A new Kitchenaid professional and a GC for pandora. And DH surprised me (with the idea, but made me pick it out) with an iPad for my birthday. Very lucky!

    We went this route too - only even less exciting.  We gave each other a gun safe.  Whoohoo haha.  Well, one of us is excited, the other just knows it was needed and an inevitable purchase.  I was actually the one that suggested it.

    In reality, we just got new cell phones in the last month and while my wardrobe is bad/old enough that even dh has commented on it, I really don't see a point in upgrading until I'm at a stable weight after ds.  So my birthday or christmas next year, I can ask for those things.

    My parents gave me a membership to seabreeze which was what I asked for and am excited for that!

    I was also very touched that people gave ds some gifts even though he is not here yet!  My parents got him a few outfits and my mom made a blanket.  FIL&MIL and GMIL gave him a couple pjs, and my grandma a blanket.

  • DH got me a Tiffany bracelet, and the Sony Bloggie video camera. IL's gave me a swarovski charm bracelet with a few charms, I also got the rainboots I was coveting!

    Owen got all of BRU. If Fisher Price made a toy  - its prob in our living room Tongue Tied Im sad because I was hoping for more clothes, and because he doesnt need all of these toys - I told everyone he needed 9 month stuff.... Im glad I bought him a bunch...
